This package adds loads of extra options for file actions in rox when you right-click on a file. The actions are only enabled for filetypes that it would be sensible to use them on. (no option to open an mp3 in mtpaint etc.)
The options use icons symlinked to the desktop theme, so if you change the theme the icons will update automatically.
The pet is supplied with the links pre-built for puppy-4.1.2 in english if you are happy with this then you do not need to run the Rox-Right-Clicks application to regenerate the options.

The roxapp application that generates the right click options is in /root/my-roxapps. If you use a language other than english or would like to include options for extra applications you have installed then click on the roxapp It will take a couple of minutes to check your system and rebuild the options, you should see a progress window whilst it is running.

The pet contains over 600 symlinks so it takes a minute or so to install.

Dependencies
To get the Wallpaper and Trash options working I have had to bug fix those roxapps, you should upgrade the applications below if you are using puppy 4.1.2 or less.

Version 0.8.2 (24.Jan 2009)
- added japanese translation, thanks himajin
- fixed pmusic add to playlist so that it uses the correct -a switch
- removed and added a few of the appdirs so the the set matches what is proposed for 4.2 alpha 2

you should be able to replace the input file with $1? no? and the output file to whatever/wherever - probably to ~/my-documents so .vob files on a DVD could be used_________________Web Programming - Pet Packaging 100 & 101

This is my first attempt at localising. I used translate.google to do the transalation. My schoolboy/restaurant french guesses that the link comments are OK but I imagine the about text for the roxapp is not very good. I have now completed the localisation stubs in /root/my-roxapps/Rox-Right-Clicks/build-apps-rules.sh (I should rename to localise). I have used google to translate to spanish, german and russian as well. The po files should be fairly straight forward for someone fluent to correct.

I don't think I have come clean before, I was born in Oz and lived there until I was eight. I've lived over 30 years in the UK and still consider myself australian. I understand the metaphor.

@technosaurus
There are a load of convert options that could be considered on video, audio and image files. Enumerating right click choices for a number of common options would probably put too many choices in the menu and probably still not provide users with the exact option they wanted. It would be great if someone created some small apps/dialogs that accepted a file as an argument and gave the user control on how they converted it.

If anyone wants to submit extra po files they will be very welcome. I expect most of the existing ones could do with some corrections as well._________________Will
